Hunting outfitters and guides in Oregon: coming soon
No outfitters or guides are listed in Oregon yet. Listings are added only after a person confirms the license or permit with the agency that issues it.
Be the first listed in Oregon
Sun Up Hunts is launching. We list a hunting outfitter or guide only after checking its license or permit with the issuing agency, so this page stays out of search results until Oregon has at least 2 verified listings to compare. If you run an outfit in Oregon, you can ask to be listed for free; there is also an optional upgraded listing, always labelled Sponsored, that is free for life for the first Founding outfitters.

Seasons, draws and regulations change every year and can differ by unit or zone. Confirm seasons and regulations with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife before you plan or book a hunt. This list is a starting point, not legal advice.
Outfitter and guide licensing in Oregon
Confirmed from primary sources
Licensing body: Oregon State Marine Board (Outfitter Guide registration).
- The Oregon State Marine Board's page says that to accept payment or benefit for assisting or instructing people in activities that include hunting, on land or water you do not own or control, you first must be registered through the Marine Board as an Outfitter Guide. The registration does not replace local, state or federal use permits. Source (read October 23, 2026)
State wildlife agency: Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (link checked October 23, 2026). Oregon rules change: check with the agency before booking a hunt or operating as a guide.
Before you book any Oregon hunt
- Ask for the outfitter's license, registration or permit number and confirm it with the agency before you pay a deposit.
- Get the hunt terms in a written contract: dates, guide-to-hunter ratio, services, what is and is not included, and the refund and cancellation terms.
- Ask which land the hunt is on (private, public, or both) and what permit or access arrangement covers it.
- Ask for recent client references you can phone, and what happens to your meat and trophy.
- Check the state's own hunter-license, tag, draw and hunter-education requirements well ahead of the application dates.
- Ask what happens if conditions or game numbers are poor: no outfitter can guarantee a harvest, and we do not list any that promise one.
Draws and lotteries: Oregon draw and application deadlines, with a link to the agency's own page.

Frequently asked questions
Are there outfitters listed in Oregon yet?
Not yet. Sun Up Hunts is launching, and an outfitter or guide is added only after a person confirms its license or permit with the agency that issues it. When Oregon has enough verified listings this page becomes a full comparison.
Who is the authority on hunting in Oregon?
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife sets seasons, licenses and rules. Confirm every requirement with the agency before you book or pay a deposit.
I run an outfit in Oregon. How do I get listed?
Send a request through the contact form with the topic "Claim or add a listing". A free basic listing and the optional upgraded listing (free for life for the first 25 Founding outfitters) both go through the same license check. Founding outfitters pay nothing.
